FAIRFIELD–

Police say the 13-year-old girl found dead in a Fairfield park without clothes on Friday was strangled.

“Because she is so young, we are not releasing her name,” Fairfield Police told FOX40.

Less than 10 minutes away, a mother and father of another missing teen are on edge.

“I just wanted to know she was alive,” says father of 15-year-old Kelsey Bostick.

Miguel and Jennifer reported their daughter missing from Fairfield on Thursday — the same night as the 13-year-old Suisun City teen was reported missing.

“I held my breath, when I heard the news that they found her dead, I thought it was Kelsey.”

Kelsey was found Saturday afternoon at a diner in Richmond. Bostick’s parents told FOX40 their daughter ran away. She is amongst the 2,200 children reported missing in the United States every single day.
